Berkeley chancellor calls to 'remove weapons of war from our midst'

In the wake of two mass shootings in El Paso, Tex. and Dayton, Ohio that took the lives of more than thirty people, University of California-Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ sent a university-wide email demanding politicians take "concrete steps to remove weapons of war."

Initially, the email strikes a mournful and empathetic tone. It calls the UC-Berkeley community to “open our hearts” and “offer condolences to the friends, family, and colleagues of those who were slaughtered over the weekend.” Christ goes on to say “we cannot and must not, turn a blind eye to emerging evidence suggesting that at least one of these despicable acts was motivated by hatred and loathing for immigrants.”

However, midway through the second paragraph of the email, Christ strikes a wholly different tone.

“We cannot be satisfied with words of sympathy and remorse from our political leaders. Now, more than ever, we must demand concrete steps to remove weapons of war from our midst," Christ says.

Ohhhhhhhh! The "chancellor" said so! And from berzerklee no less. LOL! Sorry chauncee, your feelings do NOT Trump my rights. People better wake up to this real soon. But alas, I fear the fidiots will never give two craps about those pesky rights we cherish.

Chancellor hmmm, where have I heard that title before.

How about removing the Antifa wing of the Democrat party?

[thoughtomator]

The Left uses people as weapons of war. Physical removal of those leftists does sound like a reasonable solution.

When did Americans ever elect this bozo to anything? The idiot doesn’t even have a real job.

Berkley? What a joke! Other than being a subversive organization this college is a waste of space!

The Delphi technique writ large, used on a whole population.

Exactly.

And I’d bet this person never saw a “weapon of war” in their lives.

Maybe the chancellor should be removed from our midst.

Weapons of war:

Trucks

Jeeps

Planes

Axes

Pistols

Just off the top of my head.....there are plenty more.

This person should change her name.

8/8. Just sayin’.

Semi-automatic pistols, shotguns and bolt action rifles are all standard issue weapons of war used by the United States Army and are all available for civilian consumer purchase. The AR-15 has never been a standard issue weapon of the US Military.

Stupid people say stupid things.

A college degree doesn’t mean you’re not stupid.

There are many highly-educated idiots.

Hey, it's Christ saying this. Take notice.

[wastoute]

And just as the war is getting started.

[real saxophonist]

Entrenching tools.

Well in the awesomeness of academic circles the chancellor is probably respected and is somebody. In the real world, not so much. Actually, a burden on those that produce actual, uh, products. But, smarter than the founders apparently. NOT!

Shouldn’t we ban High Capacity Transmission Devices used to spread Propaganda first??
